Along with the teaser, the OTT platform wrote, ‘Another time, another era, another magical world created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali we can’t wait to be a part of. Here is a glimpse into the beautiful and intriguing world of #Heeramandi. Coming soon!’

Reports were recently rife that the ace filmmaker scrapped the roles meant for Shabana Azmi and Mumtaz in ‘Heeramandi’. While there has been no official word on these developments, Mumtaz has in recent interactions revealed that she was indeed slated to be part of the show.

In an interview with a news portal, Bhansali opened up about the series. He said that in terms of vision and labour, ‘Heeramandi’ is the toughest project of his career so far. According to him, it was like making eight different films. Every episode is like a full-length feature film. He added that there are no compromises in the filmmaking because of the size of the screen.
